Quarterback

Don't expect the Cincinnati Bengals depth chart at the quarterback position to change much for the next few months unless the team brings in an undrafted rookie who flashes some potential.

Dalton is the man, but the rest is a bit of a toss-up. Skelton has starting experience and is the safe bet to win the backup job, but the versatility of Johnson could be intriguing enough to keep him around.

The coaching staff will have to decide if it wants wrinkles with Johnson or experience with Skelton. Cincinnati will only keep two quarterbacks.

Robinson has shown potential in the preseason, but if the team was confident in him, it would not have brought in two more quarterbacks this offseason.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a good problem at wide receiver, with so much talent making it hard to see how in the world it will all work out.

The top four names on the depth chart are not going anywhere. Green is one of the NFL's best and the combo of Sanu and Jones are reliable across from him or in the slot. Hawkins rounds out the group as a quality slot option and a gadget-type player.

After that, it's a crapshoot.

Hamilton is the new addition to the roster and may have an inside edge, but the coaching staff loves Tate on returns and Whalen was extremely reliable in spot-duty last season.

Expect the Bengals to keep five to six receivers on the roster next season.

Left Guard

Left guard was the worst position on the Cincinnati offensive line last season for a few reasons.

For one, after signing with the team in the offseason, Wharton went down with a serious injury and never returned. The other things is that Boling flat-out stunk at times and was inconsistent at best despite playing next to left tackle Andrew Whitworth.

It appears the two will duke it out for the starting job, with the rookie Hawkinson hoping to latch on as a backup at either guard spot.

Center

If there was a contest for "worst position on the Bengals' offensive line in 2012" the runner-up would be at the center position, but it is not as bad as you might think.

Undrafted rookie Robinson, out of Notre Dame, held down the fort adequately enough while Cook was out with an injury.

Cook has never been a horrible player, but he has consistently been labeled as a player who the team could upgrade on, and deservedly so. That upgrade could come this offseason as Robinson continues to develop. We saw flashes of him being a great player last season and he could improve with experience.

Johnson was a late pick in the draft and unless he flashes in a big way in training camp, he won't be on the roster.

Defensive End

With Johnson back in the fold and a freak athlete who resembles him in Hunt, it's back to business as usual for the Bengals.

Dunlap will continue to be the starter on the other side but be replaced by Geathers in running situations. Both Gilberry and Hunt will bring up the rear as effective rotational pass-rushers.

Anderson injured himself last season after being signed so it's hard to see him making the roster. The same goes for Evans, who has shown flashes of solid play, but the selection of Hunt means both are likely gone.

Defensive Tackle

In a surprising turn of events, Cincinnati elected to not address the defensive tackle spot in the draft in one way or another. Not that it needs it.

In news not so surprising, all four tackles currently on the roster will be back with the Bengals in 2013. Atkins is one of the NFL's best (No. 1 overall if you go by PFF) and Peko is a stout run-defender.

Thompson excels at stuffing the run and Still has the potential to be a good inside pass-rusher. In other words, they are the perfect backups and rotational players.

Safety

Nelson continues to be a mainstay in the secondary for the Bengals as one of the NFL's best safeties (No. 7 overall, according to PFF).

Next to him at strong safety will likely be rookie Williams, who has everything the team is looking for in an in-the-box presence who can stuff the run with ease.

The two primary backups will be Mays and Miles, who excel on special teams and are serviceable on the field if the starters go down. Iloka and Sands were drafted a year ago and are going to have to work to even stay on the roster at this point.
